MicroPlanet provides advanced energy conservation technology used in residential, commercial and industrial environments. This patented technology dynamically manages the voltage received from electric utilities to optimum levels. In areas where incoming voltage is high, this allows customers to reduce energy consumption by 5 to 12% and lower their electric bills without changing behavior patterns. In areas where voltage is low, MicroPlanet's products can boost it to programmable set points enabling utilities to improve service quality for their customers quickly and cost effectively.

Most electrical equipment, including air conditioning, refrigeration, appliances and lighting is designed to operate efficiently at 114 volts. If power is delivered at a voltage higher than 114, energy is wasted. Higher than necessary voltage also shortens the useful life of many types of equipment, since the excess energy is often dissipated as heat. The normal operating range of electrical service in the US is between 114 volts and 126 volts (European Standards: 230V +/- 10%). Due to the design of the electricity grids, utilities deliver higher than necessary voltage to most customers to ensure that the customer furthest away from the substation receives the minimum standard of 114 volts. As a result, the majority of electric utility customers receive more voltage than necessary. This translates into wasted electricity, larger than necessary electricity bills, high operating costs for utilities and increased greenhouse gas emissions resulting from the production of surplus electricity.

Dynamically managing voltages to optimal levels reduces energy consumption, improves service quality and extends the life of many types of equipment. Commercial and residential customers save energy and lower their utility expenses. Utilities reduce peak demand and improve service for low voltage customers at costs that are substantially less than the traditional infrastructure upgrades. By making the electrical grid more efficient, MicroPlanet also helps to reduce amount of energy utilities need to generate at power plants, lowering greenhouse gas emissions.
